Banana Chocolate Chip Bars
Banana Chocolate Chip Bars are grab and go for my grandson to enjoy. Made with the goodness of bananas, the added chocolate chips add sweetness. The nuts add healthy goodness and I control all the ingredients that he eats. This makes a nice little treat for him in between the homeschooling during this time.
As a retired teacher, I thoroughly enjoy this assignment. Quarantine for me is a pleasure. If I can give some advice to y’all out there, just make the learning fun. He often bakes with me and measures out the ingredients. Some of his chores include setting the table, and to prospective partners out there, he now knows the correct placing of the cutlery. Owen loves Math and Science, but this English teacher sneaks in a little Retell/Relate/Reflect. Hands on learning is the best and you can use items found around the house. This week our measurement activity included racing cars down toilet paper rolls of different lengths.
And now back to these bars. LOL
One thing about quarantine is that my husband picks up curb side groceries every 20 to three weeks. Bananas are a favourite with all of us, and now more than ever, nothing goes to waste. Today I use some bananas that are better used in baking.
